New Creation - FioNa THe FuRy HaLLoWeeN FoLK aRT DoLL !

Meet Fiona the Fury!

Furies are known in Roman mythology as goddesses of vengeance. They are also known in Greek mythology as the Erinyes, or curses in human form.

Furies made their homes in the underworld would punish all crime, both personal and those made by society. They existed to torment sinners below. They were unceasing in their hunt for the wicked, those that deserved punishment. The most serious crimes were those against parents. They punished relentlessly, those crimes which could not be reached by man on this realm.

The Greeks and Romans feared even to say their name outloud. Instead, they found it safer to refer to them as the Kindly Ones or the Venerable Goddesses. Their justice was accepted as cruel and wicked, but ultimately fair in judgement and severity.

The waists of the Furies were entwined with serpents and their eyes dripped with blood, rendering their appearance rather horrific. Other depictions show them with the wings of a bat or bird and the body of a dog.

My version of a Fury though is easy on the eyes however! Her eyes are red with blood - but the body of a dog? I think not!

My Art Doll Creations...

My art dolls are COMPLETELY made by my own hands, head, and heart - I do use my own patterns, but a majority of what I create is entirely done freehand.

I cut, sew, stuff, wire, and paint (and more!) - from the doll's head to 'toes', I can proudly say each creation is 100% handmade by me.

Each doll is truly unique and one of a kind...you won't see anything like them!

They can't help but put a smile on your face!

About Me

My desire for 14 years has been that my Art Doll creations would be financially supportive for my family. Yes, it is an absolute passion of mine creating - but apart of that dream is to be able to do it full time and take care of my family and home while staying at home. I love participating in the Sugar Plum Halloween Arts & Crafts Show, in Costa Mesa, Ca. - I do so twice a year! My Halloween Art Doll creations and other goodies have quite a following there! I am constantly looking for establishments to help sell my creations through consignment anywhere in the USA that loves, supports, and appreciates my talents - as well as the love of Halloween Art!

Jack's Corner...

Jack Sparrow: Ladies! Will you please shut it? Listen to me. Yes, I lied to you. No, I don't love you. Of course it makes you look fat. I've never been to Brussels. It is pronounced "egregious". By the way, no, I've never met Pizzaro but I love his pies. And all of this pales to utter insignificance in light of the fact that my ship is once again gone. Savvy?
